Injection molding machine - Injection Unit tab

The Injection Unit tab of the Injection molding machine dialog is used to specify injection unit related properties of the injection molding machine.

Dialog elementExplanation
Maximum machine injection strokeSpecifies the maximum allowable injection stroke that can be used on the injection molding machine.
Maximum machine injection rateSpecifies the maximum allowable injection speed that can be used on the injection molding machine.
Machine screw diameterSpecifies the size of the injection molding screw on the molding machine.
The following dialog elements are valid for a Dual Domain or Midplane meshed part running a Process optimization analysis. They specify the capabilities of the injection molding machine so that the Process optimization results are in the appropriate format.
Filling controlThe method used to control the filling of the part. The options are:
  • Stroke vs ram speed
  • Ram speed vs time
  • Stroke vs time
Ram speed control steps
Maximum number of ram speed control steps
The maximum number of ram speed changes the injection molding machine implement.
Constant or Linear steps
The type of transition between ram speed steps.
Constant
An immediate change to the new ram speed.
Linear
A linear change in ram speed from one step to another.
Pressure control steps
Maximum number of pressure control steps
The maximum number of ram speed changes the injection molding machine implement.
Constant or Linear steps
The type of transition between pressure steps.
Constant
An immediate change to the new pressure.
Linear
A linear change in pressure from one step to another.
